"BERTimbau Base is a pretrained BERT model for Brazilian Portuguese that achieves state-of-the-art performances on three downstream NLP tasks: Named Entity Recognition, Sentence Textual Similarity and Recognizing Textual Entailment. It is available in two sizes: Base and Large.

For further information or requests, please go to BERTimbau repository."

The performance of Language Models can change drastically when there is a domain shift between training and test data. In order create a Portuguese Language Model adapted to a Legal domain, the original BERTimbau model was submitted to a fine-tuning stage where it was performed 1 "PreTraining" epoch over 200000 cleaned documents (lr: 1e-5, using TSDAE technique)
